Timing Belt: Description and Operation
TIMING BELT
The timing belt coordinates the crankshaft and the dual overhead camshafts and keeps them synchronized. The timing belt also turns the coolant pump.
The timing belt and the pulleys are toothed so that there is no slippage between them. There are two idler pulleys. An automatic tensioner pulley
maintains the timing belt's correct tension. The timing belt is made of a tough reinforced rubber similar to that used on the serpentine accessory drive
belt. The timing belt requires no lubrication.
